Way, way too predictable. I kept listening in hopes that my prediction was wrong, and a good twist would occur. That was not to be.
Got into it, kept reading. She’s a decent writer, but the plot...ugh.

Definitely not my favorite rendition of this trope but not bad. Ya lost me in the end there though.
Great novel about a missing woman. I guessed the ending and think it would be hard to believe a man could date "2" women and not realize they were the same people. Also it makes light of the fact that people who have mental health disorders are not evil as presumed in this book.
Thank you NetGalley for this Advanced eGalley of [b:Bring Me Back|36448554|Bring Me Back|B.A. Paris|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1508949859s/36448554.jpg|57371442] by B.A. Paris.
Finn and Layla are on holiday when she suddenly, and inexplicably, goes missing. Finn tries desperately to find her, but isn't sure how, or why, she's managed to disappear. Though he's eventually cleared of any foul play, the pall surrounding her disappearance never truly leaves him.
A dozen years later, Finn has settled into a new life--with Layla's sister, Ellen--and has moved on from the sensationalism that once engulfed him. However, now that he's finally moved on, signs that Layla could be alive begin to appear.
The idea that she may very well be alive and well sets Finn, and Layla's sister Ellen, on a path where both are forced to reckon with demons they'd believed were long since buried.
Unlike many, I didn't care for [b:Behind Closed Doors|29437949|Behind Closed Doors|B.A. Paris|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1458854462s/29437949.jpg|45981530]. I thought it was okay, but it didn't make me want to run out and buy the next book Paris wrote. In fact, I skipped over [b:The Breakdown|31450633|The Breakdown|B.A. Paris|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1492234495s/31450633.jpg|49326982] altogether, so I didn't leap into Bring Me Back with any expectations.
That said, I was disappointed by its conclusion and annoyed by the amount of time it took to get to there. Honestly it wasn't clever enough to have taken so long to develop.
Even so, I read this in one sitting. Why? Because despite the ridiculous (and somewhat predictable) conclusion, it was impossible to deny a compulsive need to get to the end as quickly as possible; if for no other reason than to prove I'd come to the correct conclusion about its boring, one-dimensional, and uninspiring people.
For that reason alone I gave it two stars.
To say more would spoil "the fun" for those who look to read it, so I'll only say, it wasn't for me.
